The ConnectNS Global Advisors is a new program connecting Nova Scotia exporters with key influencers and industry experts within Nova Scotia’s community of expats, alumni and friends of the province. By sharing their knowledge, experience and/or connections, Global Advisors can help shape Nova Scotia’s export future.

We’re currently recruiting Global Advisors located outside of Nova Scotia. Your support can have a profound influence on the future of Nova Scotia.

Here are a few FAQs to introduce you to the program.

Q. What does it mean to be a Global Advisor?

A. As a volunteer Global Advisor, you are a seasoned executive and a champion of Nova Scotia's future. You are instrumental in connecting exporters to the knowledge, experience, and people that will help their companies become more competitive on a global level. This includes everything from sharing insights around your sector and market, to introducing Nova Scotia exporters to connections in your network.

Q. How does it work?

A. It’s simple. If you have time in the day to have a cup of coffee, you have time to participate. Here’s how:

Eligible exporters from Nova Scotia browse the secure database of Global Advisors and select which one(s) to reach out to.

The Global Advisor receives an invite directly to their inbox.

The Global Advisor then chooses if they would like to meet with the exporter. Meetings can take place in person, by phone, or virtually.
